Non-Contrast Enhanced Pulmonary Vein MRA with a Spatially Selective Inversion Preparation Sequence
Introduction: Non-contrast enhanced pulmonary vein (PV) MRA is an alternative to contrast-enhanced PV imaging for assessment of PV anatomy prior to and after PV isolation as a treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) (1,2). We propose a non-contrast enhanced three-dimensional (3D) free-breathing ECG-gated thin-slab spoiled gradient recalled echo (GRE) sequence with a slab-selective inversion for ...
متن کاملبهینه سازی نگاره های MRA مغز با استفاده از ماده کنتر است زا در میدان مغناطیسی 1.5 تسلا
Background and purpose: Selection of suitable parameters for brain MRA requires accurate measures, because the image quality depends on the location of arteries, veins and also the velocity differences of blood, taking into account the low blood flow in small veins and arteries, use of paramagnetic contrast media is recommended. Hence, in present study, we investigated the imaging optimizatio...
متن کاملA free-breathing non-contrast-enhanced pulmonary magnetic resonance angiography at 3 Tesla.
BACKGROUND The breathhold contrast-enhanced three-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) using T1-weighted gradient-echo imaging sequence is the standard technique for MRA of the thorax. However, this technique is not desirable for certain patients with respiratory insufficiency, serious renal impairment, or allergy to contrast agents. The objective of this study was to optimize and e...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Femoral arteries: Before or After Tumor Treatments using Non-contrast MRA using Subtraction Method based on Velocity Encoding Technique
Introduction; Dynamic contrast MR angiography (C MRA) has been used for the evaluation of the atherosclerotic diseases. For evaluation of patients with renal insufficiency or history with adverse reactions, MR contrast media cannot be used. So far, Non-contrast (NC) MRA with several techniques has been introduced. In the lower extremities, subtraction method between images in diastolic and syst...
متن کاملHigh-resolution motion compensated MRA in patients with congenital heart disease using extracellular contrast agent at 3 Tesla
BACKGROUND Using first-pass MRA (FP-MRA) spatial resolution is limited by breath-hold duration. In addition, image quality may be hampered by respiratory and cardiac motion artefacts. In order to overcome these limitations an ECG- and navigator-gated high-resolution-MRA sequence (HR-MRA) with slow infusion of extracellular contrast agent was implemented at 3 Tesla for the assessment of congenit...
